Meet Captain Bernie Lefebvre

Get To Know A Native Florida Fishing Guide, Captain Bernie Lefebvre and His Boat

Captain Bernie Lefebvre is a name well-known throughout the Destin Florida fishing charter community. Born in Destin while his father was stationed at the local military base, Captain Bernie has spent his life on these waters, building a legacy rooted in dedication, skill, and a deep connection to the Gulf. What began as a childhood pastime quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit. As a young boy, Bernie often joined his father and friends on fishing outings—experiences that planted the seed for his future as a respected captain.


By the early 1980s, Captain Bernie was working on commercial fishing vessels, gaining hands-on knowledge of offshore navigation and fish behavior. His professional journey officially began in college, when he worked as a deckhand aboard a charter boat owned by his father and a family friend. Over the years, he mastered not only the practical skills of operating a vessel but also the art of reading the water, selecting gear, and applying effective techniques. This experience has made him one of the most reliable and seasoned captains for deep sea fishing in Destin Florida.


Today, Captain Bernie is widely recognized for his ability to guide both experienced anglers and first-time guests. His specialties include offshore fishing and deep sea fishing Destin, where he shares advanced trolling techniques and in-depth local knowledge. He regularly contributes to the Destin fishing report, helping anglers understand seasonal patterns and current bite conditions. Known for his approachable, down-to-earth nature, Captain Bernie builds trust with every trip—always ready to teach, listen, and make sure each guest feels confident on the water.
